Better to validate the weight data record at block in v.s. doing it through the process of an accident investigation.
As it is now, airline load planning personnel and associated AWABS programs have little, if any, independent official oversight that I'm aware of.
If nothing else, trend analysis would be beneficial in determining if an individual airline's load planning procedures are performing in accordance with accepted standards.
